Performance Measurement of Corporate Venture Capital –<br />

Balanced Scorecard in Theory and Practice<br />

Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) is a specific type of strategic alliances between established<br />

corporations and entrepreneurial ventures. This contribution considers performance<br />

measurement of these strategic alliances from a corporate point-of-view. It develops a<br />

performance measurement system for CVC based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) concept of<br />

Kaplan and Norton (e.g. 1992), and shows its implementation and evolutionary usage in the<br />

case of Siemens Venture Capital (SVC).<br />

In order to make results of CVC transparent, performance measurement systems are required to<br />

integrate financial and strategic results and their performance drivers. The contribution<br />

elaborates on the theoretical foundations for performance measurement based on a literature<br />

review focusing on objectives, organizational structures and success factors of CVC, as well as<br />

earlier performance studies. Based on the BSC concept of Kaplan and Norton (e.g. 1992), the<br />

contribution theoretically develops a framework for performance measurement. This framework<br />

supports the investment managers’ ability to: communicate strategy and translate CVC<br />

objectives into quantifiable performance measures, measure the aggregate performance of CVC<br />

activities, report this information to senior corporate management, derive further management<br />

initiatives, and determine personal objectives and incentives. As individual strategies and<br />

development stages of CVC investors differ, it is hardly possible to measure the performance of<br />

CVC in a standardized way. However, particular management perspectives and performance<br />

measures can be developed based on a standardized framework, which is portrayed in this<br />

contribution.<br />

In order to illustrate the theoretical findings, the case of Siemens Venture Capital (SVC)<br />

demonstrates an individually designed BSC in CVC settings. SVC, one of the leading CVC<br />

investors, uses the BSC as an instrument for performance measurement and strategic<br />

management, since its founding. The case shows the development process of the BSC at SVC,<br />

beginning with the definition of strategy and perspectives, continuing with identifying goals and<br />

defining performance measures, up to deriving personal objectives for all employees as base for<br />

incentives, and finally implementing the BSC at SVC. Moreover, the case demonstrates the<br />

evolution of the BSC during a five-year period of organizational development, starting with the<br />

foundation of SVC in the year 1999, over the rise and decline of Venture Capital (VC) markets in<br />

the year 2000, through the internal merger with Mustang Ventures of Siemens I&C in the year<br />

2001, until the organization’s current state as of the year 2003.<br />

The conclusions of the theoretical analysis and case study are: Developing a BSC supporting<br />

CVC managers to make strategic and financial results of strategic alliances between the<br />

corporation and the ventures more transparent. The BSC helps to concentrate on the most<br />

important topics through a limited set of performance measures. Linking personal incentive<br />

systems to the BSC strongly encourages investment managers in contributing to the CVC unit’s<br />

objectives. Finally, the implementation of a BSC provides the basis for a goal-oriented and<br />

learning CVC organization.<br />
